Hardback. Condición: Good. Chilling--and often scathing--detail . . . Should be read by anyone interested in understanding why the United States' quick military victory has given way to an increasingly virulent insurgency.--The New York Times In the fall of 2003, Stanford professor Larry Diamond received a call from Condoleezza Rice, asking if he would spend several months in Baghdad as an adviser to the American occupation authorities. Diamond had not been a supporter of the war in Iraq, but he felt that the task of building a viable democracy was a worthy goal. But when he went to Iraq, his experiences proved to be more of an education than he bargained for. Squandered Victory is Diamond's provocative and vivid account of how the American effort to establish democracy in Iraq was hampered not only by insurgents and terrorists but also by a long chain of miscalculations, missed opportunities, and acts of ideological blindness that helped assure that the transition to independence would be neither peaceful nor entirely democratic. And in a new Afterword for the paperback edition, Diamond shows how the ongoing instability in Iraq is a direct result of the shortsighted choices made during the fourteen months of the American occupation and the subsequent Iraqi interim government. A forceful and detailed critique of the invasion's aftermath. . . . A searing indictment. --The Wall Street Journal Larry Diamond has a flair for making incisive points at the right moment. . . . Squandered Victory] explodes with the frustrations he felt working for the U.S. occupation. --The New Republic.…

Soft cover. Condición: As New. Summary:Over the next few decades, East Asia is likely to be the most crucial arena in the global struggle for democracy. The extraordinary economic progress achieved by many East Asian countries in recent years has greatly increased the weight and importance of the region in world affairs. It has also made developing nations elsewhere look to East Asia for models to emulate, which means that the fate of democracy there may have significant repercussions in other regions. Yet at the same time, East Asia harbors a greater diversity of political regimes than any other part of the world, ranging from the stable democracy of Japan to the entrenched Leninist systems of China, North Korea, and Vietnam.In Democracy in East Asia Larry Diamond and Marc F. Plattner bring together a distinguished group of authorities to explore the past, present, and future of democracy in this region of growing importance. The authors begin with an overview of East Asian political cultures and democracy. They analyze democracy in Japan and "soft authoritarianism" in Malaysia and Singapore. They describe the process of consolidating new democracies in South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. Looking to countries where democracy has not yet taken hold, they explore the prospects for change in China, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The volume concludes with three brief chapters by senior scholars broadly assessing the prospects for democracy in East Asia.…
